EC number 4.2.3.85 | ExPASy NiceZyme view MetaCyc | |
Alpha-eudesmol synthase (EC 4.2.3.85) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (alpha-eudesmol-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O
The recombinant enzyme from ginger (Zingiber zerumbet) gives beta-eudesmol, 10-epi-gamma-eudesmol, alpha-eudesmol and aristolene.
